brran1 and New Blogs…

How do you go about reading a new blog?

I approach blog reading as I would a new book. When I first started reading blogs back in October/November, I was the type of person that would read and while trying to decipher the lexicon of said writer, I’d end up confused because in the majority of cases, I had no idea what the writer was talking about. After a couple times of doing this, I decided I would have to start from the beginning, which meant my digging through months, sometimes a year or two’s worth of archives. As I read the entries, I slowly started to gather an understanding of the blog and the blogger in addition to their motivations for putting their lives out there for the world to see.
